Boston Celtics forward Gerald Wallace was fined $10,000 for cursing during an interview Tuesday, the NBA announced Wednesday.

"I don't know what the (expletive) that was, just to be honest with you," he said, via MassLive, after a 109-85 loss Tuesday night at the Houston Rockets.

Wallace later added, "We're only (12 games) into the season. We've got about 60 more of these. If you're going to look up and you're down 30 or you're giving up 40 points in the first quarter for the next 60 games, that's going to be a long season. (Expletive.)"

Wallace only played 11 minutes, posting two points, one rebound and one assist, in Tuesday's loss. The 12-year NBA veteran has averaged 5.1 points and 4.2 rebounds in 26.6 minutes a game for the Celtics, whom he was traded to this offseason as part of the Kevin Garnett-Paul Pierce blockbuster.
